The whole family court system needs to be dissolved, burned down whatever, just gone and rebuilt.. we need to begin with these DV womens rightS groups, thier curropt influence with our politicians to get these obscene laws passed where a friggin ham sandwich can be slapped with a restraining order must stop. I urge you all to see the movie DivorceCorp and visit the website DivorceCorp.com I am in no way affiliated with them I am in the same boat as a lot of you, slapped with a false RO, then told by Judge Marquis Jones of ocean county nj, when i told the court my wife vacated our home after killing our dog, the court asked how i knew she vacated the home? I responed "I have the util bills for the past 3months and they're all ZERO" Judge Jones (a judge who just came back from suspension for making overt propasitions to young women) responded with " Mr xxxx How would you like to go to jail for stalking?" This kind of ******** MUST STOP. The lawmakers, lawyers, judges Must be held acountable! This has to change in every state..

The harmful effects of Title IV D Funding:
Homelessness, Mental Illness, Fatherless Children, Generational Welfare, Drug Addiction, Physical Illness, Suicide, Familicide, Increased Criminal Activity, Domestic Violence, Over Populated Jails, Larger Enforcement Requirements, Unemployment, Poverty and More. Enough is Enough. End this war on families! I'm not asking anymore. Each day that passes that our judges and family courts are able to destroy lives for profit, I'm helping motivate fathers to retaliate against the criminals in power. Do the right thing!

I havn't seen my daughter in 20 years. It started for me 22 years ago. I cannot believe CPS, Family Court, Lawyers, & Psychology evaluators are still up to their old tricks. I never get a letter back from my daughter. Parental alienation is real. The pain of not ever seeing her or hearing her voice for so long is inhumane. The corruption must stop!

My daughter and I have been denied overnights for over a year now, first beginning with the judge telling me to see if I can get weekends off at my job (so I get less overnights per month which means more money in the state's pocket-which is financial exploitation) and continued with my ex-girlfriend calling DYFS on me and when DYFS dismissed allegations, she got a restraining order against me, and then she and her lawyer voluntarily dismissed the restraining order. The restraining order judge told her if she doesn't let me take my daughter then a warrant would be put out for her arrest etc. Her lawyer got the same judge we had a year ago to further deny me overnights. The judge said , "I can do what I want " overturning the previous judge's order. I already had court ordered supervised visitation from the restraining order judge and now this judge is ordering more and more supervised visitation.

I heard stories regard cps and the courts but never thought it was as bad as it is. I have recently been accused of false allegations and had my child reported kidnapped by cps before the courts even gave them temporary custody becuz u refused to hand my 2yr old over to them. Then the judge also told me to hand her over to cps without any kind if evidence. I am now 2 months without my daughter who has been traumatized due to this, she no longer want to speak to any except when she knows no one us around us. They stated i was neglectful for dental care which i had appointment the day they kidnapped her and they still 2 months later havent even took her to the dentist yet. I go to look on the internet for someone whi can put a stop to all this insanity and its amazing how much negative articles of families and even ex cps officials are the net revealing these people and what they do to families and still nothing is been done about it. I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy for anyone to go through what our famil is going through. Someone has got to end it. There has gotto be a better way!

In my first-hand experience the family court does not consider the child's best interest at all. Neither is the court at all concerned about determining facts based on evidence. Allegations are assumed to be true unless it can be proven otherwise which is contrary to the way the criminal court works. Family court is simply a game of attempting to sway the judge to your side. Constitutional and inalienable rights be damned. There is no due process.

I have been abused by the Alabama Judicial System twice now. The first time they gave custody to the 2nd degree sex offender that jad every illegal drug in his system then the man took off with my babies. He was later murdered over drugs and his father stole my babies. The court system.then turned and took custody away from me but I did nothing wrong to lose my babies. I sit and cry everyday and so do my two children. Our rights and family has been torn apart, can we receive help?

I have had to deal with this over the last 11 years. Family Court Judges in Alabama don't care about the welfare of my child even denying me split custody for no other reason than "it's not the standard". Then raise my child support by 50% not even following the standards put forth by the State. This all goes back to the question.
What is the incentive for the judge who gets his paycheck from the State of Alabama?

My son Oliver was ripped from our loving home a year and a half ago. In the last nightmarish year and a half I have complied with every article in the service plan and tested clean on every UA given me by the programs I have been in. Yet, every test , 13 in all, CPS has ordered me to take through their lab has come back positive. They falsified all 13 tests! Thus making it impossible for me to get my son back or even have unsupervised visitation with him. Oliver was placed with foster parents due to the fact that all of my family lives in New York and I wanted to keep him close thinking it wouldn't be very long before i had him home.. I felt it necessary to send him to a family member in New York around the 1 year mark at which point the foster parents decided to0 fight us for custody. They did not want to loose their paycheck! We fought a long battle and finally won thank God. I think it is an atrocity what this branch of our government has become. Once my child was sent to foster care all anyone could see was dollar signs and my son just became another notch on the way to meeting their quota and getting their cash bonuses. The single most right as a human being is the right to be a parent and to raise our young as we see fit. Yes, there are some of us who need someone to step in and care for our children if we are unfit, i was not one of those people. I had a beautiful life, family and home before CPS took my angel away from me. They have ruined my life, squashed my spirit, made me move out of my home and continue to try and make money off our broken backs. I will continue to fight them until my last breath and one day hopefully very soon the criminals who are pimping out our innocent children will be held accountable for extinguishing the light in our children's eyes.

Contesting these illegal proceedings in the State of Maryland will result in:
- Carjacking
- Obstruction of Justice
- Community Harassment
- Reckless Endangerment
- Identity Theft
- Felony Official Misconduct

And the list goes on. Because Title IV-D matching incentive bonuses are more important than the safety of children. These State workers depend on the abuse of children for employment security. Family court judges(masters), police officers, detectives, sheriffs, psychiatrists, social workers and corporate stock/shareholders work together in order to keep this continuing criminal enterprise. How is the Maryland Department of Human Resources making $550 million dollars in a damn recession? After Title IV-D matching incentive payments and other State/Federal grants/bonuses the amount is in excess of $3 billion. The needy families receive pennies on the dollar compared to the State. Racketeering indeed!

These courts have ruined my life, my children's bed interests were never taken in by the CPS or the corrupt court system, all they care about is collecting their processing fees, I addressed the magistrate in court about my concern of where my money was actually going, Why is it not accounted for? He told me it does not matter where it goes, just worry about it getting there, it is an outrage how these courts operate. I have been treated like a criminal since the first day of court three years ago, my record is crystal clean, I work hard, take care of my family, but as soon as you get divorced, it seems like they are looking for reasons to make you pay. I have to go back to court in the morning, for an IV-D hearing, another corrupt example of them flexing their power and trying to put good people down to make a fast buck. This court system needs to be stopped, and completely redone, too many people are having their lives ruined because of it. I am 150% behind this petition. And anything I can do to support it, I will gladly. Thank You.

The State of New Jersey conveniently combines child support with spousal maintenance (alimony) collection activities thereby increasing the state's federal funding through OCSE. This, I believe to be fraudulent.

My son's financial future has been stunted by this system, nor can he spend the time he wants with me. Any time a judgment is turned into an industry on the misery of innocent families it is currupt. Lets stop ransoming our children for the government.

Title IV_D funding has caused great grief to those families trying to get a "fair hearing" in family court. The Family Court Judges, attorney ad litems, psychologist benefit from Title IV-D funding. The funds are given to the states on collection of child support. There is no incentive to grant the "best parent" custody - but to examine which parent can pay child support. This is important as every dollar of child support collected is matched by Title IV-D funding. The funding going to the States are not used to enforce visitation rights of the non-custodial parent, but going into areas of the State that are not accounted for.

Cps took my kids after i had a nervous breakdown after my daughter nearly died and i jumped thru all thier hoops,classes,programs,which i paid for out of pocket,court ordered child support,and im disabled on fixed income,and paid money out for things above and beyond child support just so my kids would have money for activities,toys,clothes etc..showe up for court,and visits wo fail and Cps is tring to terminate my parental rights and adopt out both my kids, i have 13 yr old special needs and a 21mo old in foster care and i go up for TPR in September...been fighting for my kids wo fail since November 13,2012 to current day, but it feels like eternity,and my kids and i are devastated.PLEASE STOP THE FUNDING BC ITS BEING USED TO RIP FAMALIES APART!!!!

Thats what they did to me. And because criminal no contact order i have against her . I am not able to see my kids for five years. Who did it. Court did it . Court disrigard me being victim of the ceime commited by her. They rook my kids away from me. And make me pay child support

Michelle Obama is involved an many programs for children. She was appalled when the young girls were kidnap from a Nigerian school. This is happening right here in the USA. Children are being taken from good parents so the state legislatures can make money...our social security money, every taxpayer's money!!! Reform or repeal Social Act IV-D!

I have two girls and one just turned 19 so I don't have to pay for her anymore. I thought that the support would drop quit a bit since I only had one now..nope, it only dropped 90 dollers so I am still paying out 600 a month. I can't even afford health care for myself because of the amount I have to pay. Something needs to be done to make it more affordable for the dads so we don't have to work two jobs just to barely get by why the woman dosnt work at all.

I often wonder how single mother's will feel when their sons will have to go through the same thing as they promote from another women......it has become nothing more then modern day slavery and extortion. It's all about the almighty dollar~

This is so true. Corrupt state governments increase child support guidelines to unpayable monthly payments so that they can later collect and get their federal match. Check out Puerto Rico, a poor per capita territory whose child support guidelines were copied from California, one of the wealthiest States.

In practice, existing and proposed Child Support Guidelines promote a conflicting scenario that promotes the dispute between the parties, extend the procedures and victimizes children in the process, often disrupting the free and spontaneous interaction with both parents, unaware to prevent the damage that they cause, and that he who holds or obtains the custody of the children, supported by the State, gains right to, without supervision, manage the money for the support of children as seen fit . An amount that sometimes exceeds their actual needs and subsidizes the lifestyle of the custodian, a lifestyle that without that income could not afford.

They must promote economic self-sufficiency and social justice through healthy relationships that foster healthy family life relationships between ex-spouses and above all, between them and their children, promoting their right to enjoy the love and affection of both parents. In order to contribute to a better quality of life, the Guidelines can and should promote greater participation and presence of both parents in the lives of children who are the product of a divorced spouse or separated couples, I disconnecting the relationship of time and money of mathematical formulas.

The exercise of responsible parenthood cannot be limited to a restricted fillial visitations every other week in order to retain an economic benefit. Rather, the exercise involves actively participate in the development of children and in making decisions on all matters related to them. In turn, this exercise involves showing the genuine love of a father and a mother, giving company, supervision, affection and spending time without relating it to the amount of money paid or received as child support for the children, but rather enough time for two to share on the occasion of sickness, sorrows, joys and sorrows, imparting values and participating in the daily routine work, such as spaces: clothes shopping, doctor visits, study time, recreation, housework, school, educational, extracurricular activities, etc.

Understanding that apart from prejudice and stereotypes, the greatest impediment to this is the economic interest and business created around this. Guidelines can and should support public policy to promote joint custody and responsibility for the children to always be considered as the first choice in cases that fit the best interests of the child and promote active participation of both parents in the activities of the children, to the greatest extent possible.

Custody and ChildSupport have to be unlinked. As long as ChildSupport is computed taking primarily in consideration time spent with the child custodial parents will use any means necessary to keep non-custodial apart to keep the extra income.

Title IV-D funding creates disincentives for the States to prioritize children's best interests. Instead, the child support system has become a profiteering enterprise for each of the states, whose focus and purpose lies solely in funneling Federal taxpayer dollars into its coffers. Child support legislation was created to get children and single parents off government welfare, yet now laws force non-custodial parents to go on government welfare in order to make payments to custodial parents who are NOT on government assistance. The perversion of this system is atrocious. The State solely has any compelling interest in children and custodial parents whom receive government welfare, yet the most profitable ventures (for states) lie in governing wealthy families, as the dollar amounts changing hands are far greater (than with poor families), thus resulting in more Federal tax dollars to state DHHS offices. Our current system violates the rights of non-custodial parents and their children, while enriching the states with taxpayer dollars and enrich custodial parents who have no incentive nor obligation to use this money for their children. The current application of this system violates the purpose, intent and spirit of the original child support laws, while costing taxpayers MORE than providing some welfare for the limited number of custodial parents receiving child support through the State who would actually necessitate it. Families are not a business, and the State should cease turning them into one. No more Title IV-D funding to states. Then the incentives to help and protect children will become number 1, instead of prioritizing the harvesting Federal taxpayer dollars.

Children and non custody parents are harmed because of nonsense law. It is not right to give full custody of children to one parent if both are capable and willing to share custody, care and responsabilities. Please help us build a better society by giving parents equal rights to care for their children.

My advice is either 1) Do not get married and have children and get divorced in the United States
2) Stay married

This will never change. Our family values are under attack. And the news reports that we have a mental health crisis in the United States. When we have a 60-70% divorce rate, all children in our country are being abused by the system. The problem is the system and the parents who have no business having children or even getting married in the first place because they don't know the first thing about what it means.

It is time to start treating our children like people instead of paychecks. For the state, and for the custodial parent.... EVERY Custody case with 2 fit parents SHOULD BE MANDATED TO HAVE 50 - 50 Parenting.

Judge wycyk gave my husband ex gf the full time custody toher after she removed the child from another county.. The ex got married before the court and now hes divorcing her because she has depression issues.. The judge didn't pay attention to our case..1 year later,,she gave up her child to us because she has no job,no place ,no husband...ready to go wake county courthouse..

My daughter who is 2 yrs old was basically courtnapped as I'm seeing people calling it. On May 16 2014 when cps thru out my whole drivers license I'd for the whole east TX to pass around the to united states of American were I'm sure my identity being used thanks to Smith county TX. I've ask 3 times to see all my paper work on why they took my precious daughter from me and it is one excuse after another. The judge that we stood in front of reads my off everybodys hair follicle test and urine test which they cut my baby's father hair on his arm which CAN go back as far as 3 yrs, but past all urine test from get go i had 2 diluted negative with in a wk apart the second test i took i had the cps investigator along with a deputy from Smith county when i call 911 for catching in the act this CPS investigator in my mail box were she admitted being it on paper. Back to the court of judge c. clark when she's reading through my papers still does not mention my hair test, why?? And preceded to say i take a dilute negative as a positive, positive of what?? Well knowing not to pop my mouth off in court to a judge who would put me in jail, instead of asking positive for what. So last wk, this is not at all sitting with me well knowing my daughter cries for me and her father all the time where to complete strangers are raising my baby, which is my job nobody else's. So anyhow last wk i go to see a lawyer who checks out my case and his words i don't see anything on you, then his words... all i see is you have ****ed somebody off assuming in the CPS. Department. Where judge Clark agrees with everything they say. Ok punish me but not innocent 2yr old who understands nothing and why she can't be with her parents were she feels safe and we know she safe. My daughter is a victim of cps and the court and so are her parents. Its like she's been kidnapped and i don't know if she hurt fine, sad I'm pretty darn sure of. Please to who may read each one of the lost desperate parents who love their children, please put yourself for 5mins in our place open your eyes and heart to sad situation that has allowed this government to make money off our children WHO ARE THE MASSIVE VICTIMS IN THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION. If i where guilty of the reason my only child WHO is irreplaceable i wouldn't waste yours or my time
Sincerely
a mother who wants justice
Thank you.
